Choosing a Place for the Printer
When selecting a place to set up your printer, be sure to follow the guidelines below.
Place the printer on a flat, stable surface.
Place the printer close enough to the computer for the printer's interface cable to reach it.
Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for easy operation and maintenance.
Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive
heat, moisture, or dust.
Use a grounded outlet; do not use an adapter plug.
Place the printer where you can easily unplug the power cord.
Avoid electrical outlets controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental disruption of power can wipe out information in the memory of your printer or computer.
Avoid outlets on the same circuit as large motors or other appliances that can cause fluctuations in line voltage.
Keep the entire computer system away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference, such as loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
